Bothell, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE INFORMATION

A criminal record occurs whenever an individual is convicted of a crime by a court. The criminal conviction will usually always remain on the person's state criminal record till a legal motion (request) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the exact same court after a certain period. For the majority of criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is usually 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial commitments owed to the court have been completely satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests considering that the conviction sought to be vacated. If all these preconditions are met, the majority of local & district courts will usually approve movements to vacate a criminal conviction. That leads to the person no longer having a rap sheet for that particular conviction.

Nonconviction data (cops arrest records, prison booking records, finger prints/ images (mugshots) records, etc) occur whenever an individual is arrested/jailed but no criminal charges are ever submitted in court. Such nonconviction data are held by Washington State law enforcement agencies for many years. Local jailing cops agencies & the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Area in Olympia, WA both keep nonconviction data.

The site for the Washington State Criminal History Area is http://www.wsp.wa.gov/crime/crimhist.htm.
